Artistic Directors Taylor Gilbert and Sam Anderson on the importance of the festival to the theatre: “The Road’s Summer Playwrights Festival offers a wonderfully compressed period of new works and voices from established and emerging playwrights brought to life by the Road ensemble and guest artists who interact in lively discussions with our audiences, different live bands each evening, great food and drink and a tremendous sense of community between artists and theatregoers. An unforgettable event.”

Most of the playwrights whose work is featured will be attending and will participate in a post-show discussion with the audience and cast.  Live music will befeatured during each reading reception in the Lankershim Gallery space. This year’s festival will feature the bands and musicians Mleo, Stage 11, and Irish band sensation, Whiskey Sunday. The reception will be held in our backyard patio – Bettina’s Cantina – and will feature wines from Paso Robles Wineries and Lagunitas Brewery along with delicious appetizers and desserts.
